More on Todd Whitehurst
Other this past year I have had the opportunity to work with hundreds of Insurance Claims Adjusters. I have been impressed with the dedication to the profession and the commitment to service shown.
These professionals spend the necessary money to get properly trained and invest in tools such as computers and sophisticated software applications to ensure that they are prepared for the next assignment. I've even met some that have invested in travel trailers and other rapid response equipment all in preparation of the next CAT event.
However, I am amazed that with all this preparation most adjusters are still using free or cheap email systems to transfer highly private information over the Internet.
I think this is just due to the ease of getting one of these free accounts and the lure of the word "free"?
In today's business climate and growing legislation concerning privacy the "free" email account could become the most expensive tool you never purchased.
As a claim is processed and transferred over electronic email systems it carries with it policy holder information that is very valuable to identity thieves. This information, if not properly managed, can be the start of creating legal liability for the adjuster and the carrier.
The answer to these problems are very simple and do not have to cost a lot of money. By utilizing business class email systems such as Microsoft Exchange, along with protecting data through company collaboration applications, important data can be properly managed, backed up, encrypted, and transferred. Taking these steps are easy with the proper guidance (which is what we do here at CDMWorld).
Make sure you are not the cause of your policy holders next catastrophic event (identity theft).
